My Block

Hey remember the Block Party? Remember how last summer we invaded a Jimmy Buffet-assed outdoor club on the river and played Shalamar and Freeway joints from a bandshell every Wednesday night? News flash - that shit is back! (New venue though)

This year, I’ve teamed up with Sammy Slice of Mo Money No Problems and the Soul Travelers to bring you the ‘09 version of the Block Party - EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT. Starting TONIGHT it goes down at the Institute, 12th and Green Streets. I’ll be kicking it off and Sammy will join in next week.

Get your proper dose of hip hop, funk, soul, disco, club, house and all the summer jam classics - past, present and future.

$3 at the door, $2 lagers and $4 jager til midnight plus free Wii booths!

And who knows - a little birdie told me that we might have some special outdoors fun lined up for a little later in the summer.

The Block Party Promo Mix

So Skinny and I are doing a new Wednesday weekly in Philly, chock full of dollar bin jams. It's an outdoor thing* on the Delaware River, styled as "Block Party Classics, Past, Present and Future." Classic disco, funk, rap, electro of course, but also the new classics and the future classics that we'll be reminiscing about years from now. We've got great guests lined up to start, including Dollar Bin Jammer Mike Tee, and more great guests throughout the summer.

Check out the rapid-fire promo mix we did, full of some dollar bin jams we all know and love:

J.P.'s Force - Time To Throw Down

In Philadelphia, we are being blessed with summer weather all week. It's time to ease into block party season and what better way to do that than with a hefty slice of 1980's R&B?

Strap on your shell toes, grab a burger and a 40 oz. and nod your head to "Time To Throw Down"; an obscure boogie record by Washington D.C.'s J.P.'s Force. This track had a limited regional release in the mid-late 1980's but didn't get much further than the Potomac. The "J.P." stands for Joe Phillips, one of the founding members of the The Winstons who you may know for the landmark breakbeat/rare groove anthem "Amen, Brother". Yes, this is the same dude that inadvertently created Jungle. Small world.
